Tony Davis, the account holder, is the landholder of Davis Bentley Farm. Tony and his family have farmed this subtropical grazing property and managed native forest for conservation purposes for over 45 years. Tony seeks to continue with beef production but is also wishes to set aside an area for carbon sequestration and biodiversity outcomes. The Davis’s have chosen to restore their less productive farmland to natural forest. They have secured expert advice from government and assistance from revegetation practitioners to implement the project. The carbon project area will connect with surrounding habitat on the property and adjoining public lands.
